USAAF/US Army did not have no F4U-1     those should be US Marine bases/Navy Bases included with USAAF/US Army bases 

and why not just offer the F4U-1 on the CV?  put the F4U-1A on the Marine Base..... 


love the setup either way though.... much appreciated AvsA Staff

From what I remember, P38J were making an appearance in August of 1943. By mid-44, I'm not certain you'd see any Gs still in service.

[Guppy35]

Del is right.

It would be P38J models.  As much as I love the 38G, it was out of the game in the PTO at that time.  J models started showing up late in 43 and were the main ride of the 38 guys until September-October 44 when the Ls took over.

The F4U-1As should be land based.
Th Corsair used on the USN CVs was the F4U-1D.
You could say the 1A CV is Royal Navy


Just saying...

 As a member of the Claim Jumpers we have been bringing  8-12 pilots each week. It is a blast! Keep up the good work.

You mean F4U-1D on the CV and -1A on land base I'm guessing?

[USCH]

It would be nice to know what are the requirements for taking the 1 airfield are on the arena message

[TequilaChaser]

You mean F4U-1D on the CV and -1A on land base I'm guessing?

um the F4U-1D is already on the cv I thought?  he just switched the F4U-1 and the F4U-1A from where they are located....

WTG shifty, you got us th -1 instead of the -1A on the CV 

[Shifty]

The F4U-1 never saw combat from the deck US Navy CV either. Not to mention by 1944 it's very doubtful any F4U-1s were being flown in front line service anywhere in the PTO. If so they were a very rare bird. The F4U-1A and 1D should be more than enough Corsair for the setup. Fork if your intent is to have three different CVs each with it's own unique fighter aircraft the FM-2 in place of the F4U-1 would be a more historic choice. In fact if you limited one CV to FM2s and TBMs you'd have a great representation of the US Navy CVE which served valiantly in 1944 such as the USS Gambier Bay CVE-73.

Not meaning to put a ding in your setup just offering a little historic info. I like the setup and appreciate your effort.

WTG shifty, you got us th -1 instead of the -1A on the CV 

No buddy I'm working very hard to get you downgraded to a Wildcat.
